Stay away from Saner. George asked me to get him a Saner bar last year. I called him up and ordered it and he said the new batch would be back from the powder coaters the next week and he'd send it immediately. He charged my card - twice - and never shipped a bar. He has never since returned a phone...

Hey, this is a family board.
I don't want to hear anymore talk about Grice berries.

And I was sooo looking forward to calling you T-Rex.

Oh well, congrats!

El Toro is currently on the books for end of February.

End of February.

I'll second Larry's suggestion for UCI. I got my BA there, and although I graduated with a Comp Lit degree, I started as a Physics major. Don't ask. But it does explain the Architecture thing I think... Anyway, I was the liaison to the Engineering department for the study abroad program (has he cons...

I graduated from the UC Berkeley graduate school of Architecture in 1995.
And while it was a bit of a system shock coming from orange county, it's more like a giant Gap commercial than a hippie commune.

Go for it Matt! It's the perfect opportunity to subvert your provincialism. ;)

Best pic of Gary Thomason, ever. plus the STi got at least 1 more nice big in magazine photo with Annie driving, and a little one of Max, but yo can see his face. Christine and Marshall get thier butt's in print.. and that's an odd helmet for tom to be wearing. That is a great pic on pg 94. However...

Then you've been spending to much time with Sr. Chase!

Duh.

The problem is, when people meet us for the first time, they think he's Sr. Puertas and I'm Mr. Chase!

You mean a Mexican looking dude? (private joke)

Hey, I resemble that remark!

Yeah, but as Steve points out, what might work on a civic or miata, might not be the best choice for the GTO.
Although really, this is just for the street, and a very rare autocross. I have a set of 710's to run FS.

I'm trying to decide between the new Kumho XS and the Dunlops.
Anything worth discussing there?

Is it a 5.0 or a 5.7?
You could always run STX or STU...

The end of February.

There's a joke in there about Mari's height, but I should probably let that go...

So give us the short list so we can discuss your next car purchase!

9 or 10 races with 2 drops for the main series, and 3 or 4 races with no drops for the winter series. Ending the series with the NOTLD is a great idea. Except for all the people who hate NOTLD and don't want it to be a points event at all. :lol: Nobody hates that event more than I do. Having been f...

Aaron, the Banquet is Feb 8th at the Toyota Museum. Splitting the season seems to have a number of advantages and very few disadvantages... Trophy expenses comes to mind as an issue, but I'd vote for doing away with individual event trophies and just doing better trophies for each of the two season ...

We were asked by the PCA to come do an Evo School in conjunction with their regular school.

NO TRUCKS!

Although your tow vehicle is probably no wider than Bruce's Ford GT...

Bruce Li's wife brought a new Evo to the school last weekend at El Toro.

She got the automatic, and the way that thing donwshifts under braking is seriously cool.

Oh, karts.

I was afraid he was talking about his other "habit."

Just adding a man-door on the driver's side across from the existing side door would make it so much easier for setting course and reloading at the end of the day.

It was for OE less than 13".

For cars like the old Mini and Honda 600's
